Back at Society, Sharon thinks Daniel should cut his Mom some slack. She still sees herself as the victim, Daniel feels that she never learns from her mistakes. You and Summer mean the world to her, Sharon abruptly cancels breakfast with Noah. She’s going to find Phyllis – sure that she could use a friend right now.
On the patio, Phyllis seems to be having a panic attack as she tries to hold back tears.
Briefly discussing how Summer will react to the news, Daniel wants to talk about something good for a change – like Noah’s new club. I’ll see you tonight, he leaves. Audra arrives to sashay over to Noah – so, London’s most successful club owner is opening a new spot. She looks forward to seeing how he recreated the Shadow Room.
Your father’s been kind and very generous, Matt asks Nick how he’s feeling. Sorry I got you hooked on drugs – it’s incredibly cruel. After Nick walks away, Matt wants to discuss his fate. Victor will put him to the test – a sincerity test. Great – Matt will do anything to make amends. Victor wants to see if he can trust him.
Phyllis, I’ve been looking all over for you, Sharon finds her on the patio (correctly guessing she could use a friend) I’ve lost my kids, my business, everything, Phyllis is near tears. Where’s that woman from that clinic? No self pity – defeat wasn’t an option; Sharon never stopped believing in Phyllis – you’re no quitter. Taking her hand across the table, Sharon orders Phyllis to get the hell out there and prove her right.
Lily joins Cane at Society to update that Victor kept his word. How do you feel about running Chancellor for me?
Next Week: So, I’m ready, Matt announces – are we going to start your plan for me to go get Cane Ashby? Soon, Victor confirms …. Sharon toasts Noah. Here’s to your success – and to Genoa City’s Shadow Room. Holden, Claire, Stephanie, Lily and assorted guests applaud… Can I get some of that? Malcolm appears to ask at the park cafe. Holden and Claire smile as Stephanie gives him a hug.
My Thoughts: Is Holden going to wear his new leather jacket everywhere he goes from now on? … Lily and the twins ‘sacrificed a lot’? Good grief – these entitled brats have no idea what sacrifice is. I’m sure Lily and the twins were held ‘captive’ in a luxurious 5 star resort somewhere tropical … It’s bizarre how easily these global conglomerates are transferred from one party to another. Hell, yes, Nikki’s going to be mad that Victor’s just handing Chancellor to Lily. And Lily’s going to have Cane run it??? If she’s not invested enough to run it herself, she should let someone run it who IS…. Really Audra? Noah’s ‘London’s most successful nightclub owner’? He’s not even running the club in London – Allie is. There’s nothing creative in making an exact duplicate of a club that already exists. And I’m sure the new Shadow Room doesn’t look any less dreary than the original. Maybe Matt will sue him for copyright infringement (or something) I mean, if I open up a fast food joint that’s a duplicate of McDonalds, I’d expect to promptly get my ass sued.
